Environmentalists Say President, Governor Harming Water Quality

POSTED: 3:16 pm EST February 19, 2004

TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Claiming Florida's drinking water and beaches are threatened by raw sewage discharges, environmental groups Thursday said President Bush's budget cuts on water projects will create health dangers and higher utility rates.

The pollution comes largely from raw sewage discharges, underground injection of sewage and leaking septic tanks, according to a study completed jointly by the Natural Resources Defense Council and the Environmental Integrity Project.

The environmentalists cited a report that says fecal bacteria was detected in groundwater, generally at depths of approximately 1,000 feet in Miami-Dade County's South District Wastewater Treatment Plant.

They said both the president and his brother, Gov. Jeb Bush, aren't doing enough to protect the state's water.
